Next up in my acquisitions from series 10 of blindpacked LEGO minifigures (although it was the last one I found), here is the Tomahawk Warrior. I'm not sure if the designers at LEGO based his appearance on any specific Native American tribes or not, so it could be an accurate recreation or it could be completely based on stereotypes. Not to be totally mysterious, but you'll see in a few days why I specifically wanted this particular figure. It's a pretty cool looking design, with different tattoos on both arms. Finding the Tomahawk Warrior in the packaging is fairly easy. The mohawk hair piece is pretty distinct with its ridged, curved shape. The other distinctive piece to feel for is the tomahawk itself. The blade is already attached, and is made of softer plastic, so you probably won't confuse it with anything else. You can also feel for the carved ridges on the handle, there is one at the base, then a few near the bladed end.
